Story line was there, but the script looked rushed and unpolished. Is it really why the genre of this film is comedy because honestly i cant help but laugh at the ending.
I cant help but to feel sorry for the film because the scripwitting was too shallow too far from the expectation of having a Dolly de Leon in the cast which at first will make you think that this film would be as "Cannes Film Festival" caliber. Yeah, the production design was there, however the Miranda Prestley vibe that Peterssen Vargas want to acheive for Dolly fell short.
The only thing I guess I liked is the musical scoring which paid homage to classic Pinoy divas: Leah Navarro and Kuh Ledesma which added a bit of a depth in the attempt to level up the musicality.
Expectations... meh. Nice try though.

Sayang naman! (What a shame)
Didn't quite live up to expectation
The acting was wooden, particularly the portrayal of the protagonist, which often leaned toward overacting. While many fans seem eager to defend it by labeling the movie as "campy," it's essential to note that a film can still maintain a level of tastefulness even with a campy vibe. Unfortunately, in this case, the balance wasn't quite achieved.
The plot twist and revelation at the end were disappointingly executed. It felt as if the filmmakers were trying to inject a shocking element into the story, but the result was more of a jarring disconnect. For a plot twist to be effective, it needs to seamlessly integrate with the existing narrative, offering a fresh perspective rather than feeling forced.
I told you so
The acting was of course evidently superb. No doubt about it. The plot of the story was so expected, it was a no brainer. They cussed so awkwardly and just trying to insert it in every scene which resulted to look like a "trying hard" moment. There are just scenes that are soooo frkn cringy. Too much hype of a movie that it was really such a pity that the storyline doesn't even equal the amount of range of how great the actors were.
Just if you are so curious, then go ahead watch the movie. And if you cringed, then just don't forget that I said, "I told you so".
